Cyprus to North Korea: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Getting ready for your journey from Cyprus to North Korea? Electrical compatibility is easy to overlook, but bringing the wrong plug or forgetting an adapter can leave you scrambling at your hotel. Here's what you need to know.

Your Cyprus plugs (Type G) won't fit North Korea's outlets (Type C). You'll want to grab a universal travel adapter or one specifically designed for North Korea before you depart.

The voltage and frequency in North Korea (220V, 50Hz) are close to Cyprus (230V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.

Rather than packing bulky converters, consider buying travel-sized dual-voltage versions of appliances you can't live without. For phones and laptops, all you'll need is the right plug adapter since their chargers almost always support worldwide voltage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Cyprus uses Type G plugs and North Korea uses Type C. Since these are incompatible, you will need a travel adapter.
